My name is Ashwani Jain (he/him), and I am a former Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate and White House Official running for Maryland’s 6th Congressional District open seat to represent the people of Western Maryland.
I am running for Congress- not just to be Maryland’s first Millennial and first Asian-American ever elected- but because I have specific policy solutions that will open the doors of opportunity for our community. These policy solutions include taking money out of politics, free public college & cancellation of student debt, Medicare for All, and a $26 minimum wage by 2030.
As I go door-to-door in Maryland’s 6th, I am often asked, “How exactly do you get money out of politics?” So I recorded a 60 second video titled, “How to get money out of politics” that does just that.
‘Getting Money out of Politics’ is not just a political slogan but a guiding principle for how we operate our campaign, and addressing the outsized role of money in politics will be one of my top priorities if elected to Congress. As a result, we only accept individual contributions and take no corporate or PAC money of any kind.
Our campaign for Congress in MD-06 is by far the most competitive Democratic primary election in the state, and we are up against self-funding millionaires and a large field, nearly half of which is composed of candidates who do not even live in the 6th Congressional District.
To overcome these challenges, we will need the support of a grassroots movement rooted in the idea that we must Demand Better of our current and future elected officials.
